    There is no such thing as failure! Only giving up! I bounced around the same 3 pounds for awhile, but I stuck with it and that's how I am where I am. Anyone who is frustrated, just look at what you're doing and see where you can tweak.

    For me, I needed to eat more. I have a treaddesk - walk 6-10 miles per day during the workweek plus I was doing the elliptical. I thought the weight would fall off like a guy, lol. But it didn't until I upped my calories.

    Now I'm doing a zig zag experiment. 3-4 days lower cals, followed by 3-4 days at maintenance. We shall see!

    I started on January 9th with a Community Weight Race. Joined MFP 20 days ago. In total, lost 12.4 lbs so far. Need to lose a lot more. Been kinda stuck the last two weeks, but just have to keep at it.

    I started on January 1, after I saw some photos of me at the beach during vacation. I started on here the day I got back home, and I've found this to be a great tool to help me out, and I've been very happy with the progress.

    I started around New Year's, and have lost 15 of the 30 I want to lose. The weight loss was at 2 pounds a week (even though I had it set at 1 pound) and now has slowed down over the past few weeks from 0.5 to 1 pound.

    No excuses, but I haven't done much exercising since starting mfp, short of giving my dog some 1/2 hour brisk walks. Looking to incorporate that soon, but finding including the exercise much harder than managing what I eat.

    I joined between Christmas and New Years with no intention of doing anything until Jan 2nd. Since then I have lost 24lbs and had many, MANY high calorie meals in there. Lol.

    Exercise and not stressing over not losing or gaining a pound here or there, along with a gentle but hard gym routine has worked for me.

    I started seriously logging on Jan 1st this year, the first two months went really well, lately not so much.
    But I'm determined to follow through this and get back on a proper track!

    same! it is easier for me to plan what i eat and watch calories than making time for working out. i recently moved in with my bf so i can't make excuses anymore!! this week is the start of going to the gym 3 times a week. i'm going today after class!! :) it really does make you feel better and i'm a lazy lazy person haha

    I joined the middle of January and so happy I did. I'm down 15lbs only 20 to go :) MFP has helped me portion control which was my main problem and I now I actually enjoy working out.

    I restarted doing yoga everyday on Jan 2nd and MFP just about 2 weeks ago. So far I've lost 9 lbs several more to go. I should reach my goal by birthday in October.
